And so it gets decided... Last chance to turn back Mikado!

[The Mikado]

And so it gets decided... Last chance to turn back Mikado!

Three on Washington.  WA-OR.  If I lose four soldiers, stop.

[Verily]

Well, this is interesting. Way to make Josh's life a lot easier, people.

[Gustaf]

Well, this is interesting. Way to make Josh's life a lot easier, people.

I was gonna post that this was pretty much between you and TN now (with TN being the favourite, imo) but then I realized Josh could actually get the Midwest bonus unless you manage to break-through his lines. That would be strange.

[Verily]

Exactly. If Meeker hadn't attacked me in Texas, Josh wouldn't get the 8-person bonus this turn, but I really don't have enough forces to go toe-to-toe with Josh now unless I get really lucky.

[Gustaf]

Exactly. If Meeker hadn't attacked me in Texas, Josh wouldn't get the 8-person bonus this turn, but I really don't have enough forces to go toe-to-toe with Josh now unless I get really lucky.

No offense to Josh, but I beleive he did get the Midwest bonus last time he played, but it didn't matter. Obviously, the situation kind of sucks for you, but it was still probably better for Meeker, given how you will probably take the hit from Josh anyway...

But it's an unusually balanced game this time around, since Josh could also be your bulwark against TN.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Yea I suck at this game, but I love it. Right now I really have no clue where to go. I guess I will wait until Verily's turn is over to see where to go.

[The Man From G.O.P.]

I'd like to express my disgust at the possibility of Josh holding his position until the begging of his turn, that would be very averse to my plans.


That is all.

[The Mikado]

So much for the short sharp shock.

WA-AK...if successful end turn.  If failure, end turn.

[Frodo]

If M&M plays his cards right, he could wait until both Gustaf and The Mikado have exhausted themselves before swooping in to conquer them both. 

[Meeker]

Shhhh...

[Verily]

Blech. I'll gamble.

All three in North Carolina. Attack NC-SC, do or die.

[Frodo]

Blech. I'll gamble.

All three in North Carolina. Attack NC-SC, do or die.

So you're letting M&M keep Texas? 

[Gustaf]

More importantly, he's letting Josh keep the Midwest. He'll have to pray now.

[Verily]

I didn't say I wasn't going to make other moves, but, yes, I'm going to let Josh have the Midwest for a turn. I can't do anything else and hope to be more than a spoiler.

[Josh/Devilman88]

I didn't say I wasn't going to make other moves, but, yes, I'm going to let Josh have the Midwest for a turn. I can't do anything else and hope to be more than a spoiler.

I would have done the same, but just to let you know I'm not going to attack you. I'm looking at two moves and both of them don't have your area in mind.

[Joe Republic]

All three in North Carolina. Attack NC-SC, do or die.

So much for the Neutral Army being bad at dice.

Wow. Neutral army rules supreme. It is now TN's game to lose, imo.
